Evony Video Game Ads

I've had cause to review Evony ads recently. Users I'm working with now find them offensive. I can see why. They range from Victoria Secret style underwear to borderline violent with obvious phallic symbols. Still. It's a free world. I just choose not to use the service.

What's interesting to me is how their ads have evolved.

Here's a terrific blog post about the subject of Evony ads: http://contexts.org/socimages/2009/07/14/evolution-of-evony-video-game-ads/.

Naturally I was curious. I visited Evony. There's simply nothing you can learn about the service without signing up! Crafty!
